I accept. Out of curiosity what in the picture makes you think the bike doesn't run?

In the photo of stuartni's CB550
- no brake calipers are attached,
- tissue over the carb-engine rubbers,
- no chain?
- bikes on a bike stand with lots of tools around it suggesting its still being completed

So I had to ask  8). I always thought BOTM was about finished bikes that are road ready so if I am in doubt I always ask. No offense intended to anyone but it creates a level playing field.

cheers
Andy
